2007 Chrysler Town And Country

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, A LOUD GRINDING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKES FAILED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BRAKES AND ADJUSTED THE CABLE THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

MY WIFE HAD JUST FILLED UP THE VAN WITH GAS AND, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, SHE SAID SHE HEARD SOME "CHIMES"...THEN ALL POWER TO THE VAN SHUT OFF. NO POWER STEERING, TRAFFIC IN FRONT AND BEHIND HER. I SEE THAT OTHERS ON THIS SITE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER GETTING GAS. THE VAN ONLY HAS 56,000 MILES. I'LL BE CALLING CHRYSLER TOMORROW. I DID GET THE LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BACK IN 2007 WHEN PURCHASED. I WAS NOT PLEASED TO READ THAT THE NTSB WOULD NOT REQUIRE A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER UNTIL MORE EVIDENCE ( IE MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS AND/OR FATALITIES) OCCUR. MY WIFE NO LONGER FEELS SAFE DRIVING THE VAN WITH OUR TWO YOUNGS BOYS.

AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE IT WILL STALL, HESITATE AND OR COMPLETELY LOCK UP AND NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THIS HAPPENS AFTER REFUELING AND TURNING ON AND DRIVING. THIS CAN TAKE PLACE IN PARKING LOT OF GAS STATION, CITY STREETS AND GETTING ONTO HIGHWAY FROM FUEL STATIONALSO TURNING OR COMMUTING STRICT DOWN THE ROAD. HAVE TAKEN IT INTO REPAIR SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES AND KEEP BEING TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS PROBLEM STARTED NOVEMBER 2015 AND HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE EVERY WEEK SINCE WHEN I FILL UP WITH GAS.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND I DRIVE SLOWLY OR FAST THROUGH A LARGE PUDDLE OF WATER THE WATER SPLASHES UP AND I LOOSE POWER STEERING. THE STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT TO MANAGE ONCE OUT OF THE WATER AND ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER THE POWER STEERING RETURNS. NO OTHER TIME DO I LOOSE POWER STEERING. DAILY THE VAN MAKES LOUD NOISES LIKE A WHISTLING/PURRING OR A TING ONCE STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING WHICH A DIFFERENT CUSTOMER ATTRIBUTED TO THE POWER STEERING POSSIBLY. ALSO THE WHINING OR WHISTLING NOISE DOES INCREAS WITH EXCELLERATION. IT IS WEIRD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE APRIL OF 2011 WHEN I BOUGHT IT USED FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

IF I USE THE KEY FOB OR THE INTERIOR PANEL BUTTON TO RAISE THE TAILGATE IT WILL START TO SHUT ON ITS OWN AND WILL PUSH THEN PIN YOU DOWN QUICKLY TO THE VEHICLE UNTIL SOMEONE HITS EITHER BUTTON OR IT FINALLY DISENGAGES WHICH TAKES AWHILE. IT DOESN'T BOUNCE BACK UP IF IT TOUCHES YOUR BODY. TAILGATE WILL SOMETIMES START RAISING AND SHUTTING SEVERAL TIMES. MOSTLY HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER IS COOL TO COLD. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY - LOADING GROCERIES. MANUALLY UNLOCKING IT AT THE TAILGATE THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY UP BUT IT DOES NOT PIN. MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE COOL TO COLD. IT STARTED DOING THIS SINCE LAST YEAR AROUND THE HOLIDAY SEASON. LAST TIME WAS EARLY MARCH 2016. REPORTING SO INTERESTED BUYERS KNOW TO ASK ABOUT THIS ISSUE IF ITS NOT COLD AND FOR PRESENT OWNERS WATCH FOR THIS PROBLEM WHEN LOADING ITEMS AND TO KEEP CHILDREN/ELDERLY AWAY FROM TAILGATE AT ALL TIMES WHEN OPEN.

AFTER REFUELING GAS TANK (TO THE POINT OF AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF) RESTARTED VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO LEAVE STATION. THE VAN STALLED AS PULLING OUT OF STATION ONTO CITY STREET, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT FROM APPROACHING VEHICLE, AND STEERING AFFECTED AS WELL. PREVIOUSLY, HAVE EXPERIENCED THE VAN ALMOST STALLING, BUT THEN CATCHING IN AFTER A FEW SPUTTERS, WHICH IN ITSELF WAS SCARY. HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS YEAR DODGE AND TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVANS ONLINE AT: ALLEXPERTS.COM/Q/CHRYSLER-REPAIR-807/F/STALLING-REFUELING.HTM. FOLKS THERE STATING THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY HAVE TO REPLACE ENTIRE FUEL TANK TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE! AS MINIVAN CHOICE OF VEHICLE FOR FOLKS WITH FAMILIES OF SMALL CHILDREN, THIS SEEMS LIKE A DIRE PROBLEM IN NEED OF INVESTIGATION NOT ONLY FOR THE YEAR 2007, BUT FROM 2003 ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE STARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 76,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

AFTER FILLING MY GANDMOTHERS GAS TANK ON HER 2007 TOWN AND COUNTRY WE PULLED ONTO THE STREET AND THE WHOLE CAR STALLED OUT AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING WHEEL AND BREAKS. IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR QUICK REACTION TIME ON MY PART. WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A COLLISION. IT'S NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE. IN ORDER TO GAIN CONTROL BACK I HAD TO THROW THE VAN IN PARK AND THEN IT RESTARTED AND DROVE WITH NO PROBLEM HOME.
